Pedantry warning, but I think this distinction is useful: The phrase “civil crime” doesn’t really exist. You can have a crime, you can have a civil case, or you can have both; but they are separate things.

Criminal court is where the government prosecutes someone for allegedly breaking the law (committing a crime). A pardon wipes out the government-imposed consequences of that crime.

Civil court is for legal disputes between parties. It’s not about punishing crimes but about one party seeking restitution from another. Sometimes that stems from a crime, but the civil case stands on its own.

So even if a crime is pardoned, the door stays open for civil lawsuits over the same event. (This is repeating your point. My beef was just the “civil crimes” phrase!)

Dang. Thank you for posting this; most informative shitpost ever! (I missed the official announcement.)

If you need to get a cell phone plan in your name, US Mobile has a 2-gig/mo cell phone plan for $10/mo. My partner and I moved to them a couple months ago and are spending $28 for 2 lines at 10gb/mo, down from $144 for an unlimited plan with T-Mobile. USM is very upfront with their pricing and I’m a fan. (I do have a promo code I can share, but I’m honestly not recommending it for the kickback.)

Do I win something for achieving it all a few years early?

That was one of my favorite moments in the show because her acting was so spectacular!

Would you even call it…. uplifting?

^(I’ll see myself out.)^

Route as well. Depends largely on if I’m talking about routing Internet traffic or Route 66, though.

Also got pressured in the sub…

(I’m sorry. That was terrible. I also feel for the kid but I couldn’t pass on the pun.)

I haven’t seen this meme in a couple years but I referenced it to my partner just yesterday but didn’t feel like looking it up. So big surprise when I opened Lemmy and it was the second thing in my feed. Thank you!

Even without attribution or ever reading this quote before, I just knew it had to be Sir Terry Pratchett and I was right.

That man was unmatchable in his wit and wisdom and how he packaged life lessons on simply being good people into entertaining stories. The world is lesser without him.

Probably because they realized everyone still called it that because no one thinks of what “Max” is without the “HBO” label. I just wonder how their user research failed so badly in the rebrand to “Max.”

And it’s not like there are only unisex bathrooms there. It’s easy to choose another one if you prefer.

But why bother. They’re more private than most other public bathrooms in the US. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I fly through KC often and the gender neutral bathrooms are right past security, so I go in there nearly every time to at least wash my hands. There used to be a tiny jolt of surprise when I saw a man in there just because I’ve been so conditioned against seeing that for over 30 years, but that’s gone away because why tf do I care who sees me wash my hands?!
